McLaren F1 Boss Raises Concerns Over Lando Norris’ Mental State Following Dramatic Crash
In a shocking turn of events at the Canadian Grand Prix, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has expressed serious worries about driver Lando Norris’ mental state following a high-speed collision with Oscar Piastri. The incident, which resulted in Norris’ first retirement in nearly a year, has left the young driver reeling and questioning his own judgment on the track.
Norris, who took full responsibility for what he described as a “stupid” move in attempting to overtake Piastri, now finds himself trailing behind his teammate by a significant 22 points in the championship standings. Stella emphasized the impact of the crash on Norris, stating, “Obviously it’s an episode which cost him championship points. It’s an episode that for his own admission he said, ‘the principle was clear, I just made a misjudgement’.”
The McLaren team principal also highlighted Norris’ self-criticism, mentioning that the driver never sought to discuss the incident further, leaving lingering concerns about the toll this crash may take on Norris’ confidence moving forward. Stella emphasized the team’s unwavering support for Norris during this challenging period.
As the F1 season progresses, all eyes will be on Norris as he navigates the aftermath of this intense collision and strives to regain his footing on the track. The pressure is on for the young driver to bounce back stronger and more resilient than ever.
